Hello Everyone,

What is the best way to create sag on a lens surface (one of the two surfaces would be the beginning, and then I would move to both surfaces) and parametrize it using python so that i can create wavefront maps and the changes in the wavefront maps based on the localized changed in the sag?

Here is what I want to do:

1. Create sag on a lens surface that can be parametrized (conic constant and the other asphere constants can be varied)
2. For each combination of these parameters, evaluate the wavefront map

So far, the knowledgebase articles show how to use a .dat file to induce sag on surfaces, but there is nothing about parameterization.

Is there a Python example that does something similar?

Or is there any other method that would make more sense?

Thank you for your insights.
